Kit Kittredge

Emmy and I went to see the new American Girl movie "Kit Kittredge" last week. She had been counting down the days until the movie opened and that morning she dressed her Kit doll in her movie clothes so she could come along too. So, the three of us had an afternoon at the movies, snacking on popcorn.

Now a review.Even though this movie is targeted towards girls, I would take my boys to see it as well. It was a good movie about the depression era and the children in the movie solve a mystery together while bringing plenty of humor to the story. But, I couldn't help but think of the financial downturn of our country today while watching the financial ruin of many families during the depression. Beyond that I would recommend this movie to girls and boys who are old enough to follow a mystery storyline.

We Adopted!

Profile

Life around here is chaotic but eventually you grow to love the chaos and can't imagine life any other way.

We move. We move a lot and somehow I've made a home in 7 rental houses in 5 states within 9 years. Follow the math? We purchased our first home two years ago (another move!) and since raising three kids who are less than 4 years apart isn't enough of a challenge we decided to renovate most of the house shortly after moving in. Then we got started on our adoption process. We just simply can't sit still.

I have a wonderful husband who takes most of my stress away (or at least tries) and we have 4 great kids, with our last child being added to our family through the journey of adoption. It's loud, it's messy, it's chaotic and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I started this blog to share a little of our lives with those that enjoy following the chaos. Good luck.
